Hadith 6838
اُردوEn
عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا قَالَ جَاءَ شَابٌّ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ أَتَأْذَنُ لِي فِي الْخِصَاءِ فَقَالَ صُمْ وَسَلِ اللَّهَ مِنْ فَضْلِهِ
Narrated by Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with them both): A young man came to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: Will you permit me to be castrated? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Observe fasting and ask Allah Almighty for His bounty.
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … This is a very beautiful answer. The absence of means for something at present does not mean that a person should permanently deprive himself of that thing. He should make temporary arrangements to control himself and ask Allah Ta’ala for His grace. Fasting (sawm) is, in its own right, a permanent act of worship, but for an unmarried person, it is a temporary arrangement to control desire.
